That's unbelievable!!Originally Posted by Yosemite
I also said that it was unlikely her spelling would get any better since her teacher did not know how to spell. They said that was a very serious allegation. I then pulled out a handwritten sheet that her teacher had sent home regarding the Christmas pagaent. On it, there were 3 misspellings - halo was spelled "hallo", shepherd was spelled "shepard", and veil was spelled "vale". Now those are not difficult words to spell, in fact two of them are simple 4-letter words. When they saw my proof, the Principal sputtered and said, "well now, how important is spelling these days anyway" to which I replied it had seemed important to him moments before I showed him the page with the teacher's misspelled words.
I hate how your daughter was treated, I honestly think principals and teachers try to act like they are not humans but something better in front of kids. I've felt this myself when I was in school, it makes a kid feel as though in prison.
